Interaction of methyltin(IV) compounds with carboxylate ligands. Part 2: Formation thermodynamic parameters, predictive relationships and sequesterin…
2008
Thermodynamic data of mono-, di- and tri-methyltin(IV)-carboxylate complexes (acetate, malonate, succinate, oxydiacetate, diethylenetrioxydiacetate, malate, citrate, 1,2,3-tricarballylate, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexacarboxylate) in aqueous solution are reported at t = 25 °C and I = 0 mol l−1. Thermodynamic parameters obtained were analysed to formulate empirical predictive relationships as a function of different parameters, such as the number of carboxylate groups of the ligand and the charge of the alkyltin(IV) cation. Sequestration diagrams of citrate and 1,2,3-tricarballylate towards alkyltin(IV) cations at different pH values are also reported and discussed.…
Complex formation equilibria between the acetazolamide ((5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-2-sulphonamide), a potent inhibitor of carbonicanhydrase, and…
1990
Abstract The stability constants for the equilibrium of complexation between acetazolamide and the divalent metal ions copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), and cobalt(II) have been determined by potentiometry both in water and in water-ethanol 50 vol. % solutions in 0.15 mol dm −3 NaNO 3 at 25°C. This mixed solvent has been used in order to obtain higher concentrations of acetazolamide in solution. For copper(II) and nickel(II), the binuclear species [Cu 2 (Acm) 2 ] and [Ni 2 (Acm) 3 ] 2− are detected in both solvents together with hydroxo species. The values of the stability constants are always higher in the mixed solvent than in water. For cobalt(II) and zinc(II), while in aqueous solution …
Speciation of low molecular weight ligands in natural fluids: protonation constants and association of open chain polyamines with the major component…
2000
Abstract The interaction of five open chain polyamines (ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), trietylenetetramine (trien), tetraethylenepentamine (tetren), spermine (sper)) with the major components of seawater was studied potentiometrically at 25°C, in an artificial seawater (containing Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl− and SO42−) at different salinities (5–45‰). Potentiometric data were interpreted in terms of both the apparent protonation constants of polyamines and the formation constants of complexes formed by unprotonated or protonated amines and the cation and the anion of seawater (the inorganic content of seawater being considered as a single 1:1 salt). Some empirical relationshi…
Single Molecule Spectroscopy of Oriented Recombinant Trimeric Light Harvesting Complexes of Higher Plants
2002
The bleaching dynamics of reconstituted single light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b investigated. The complexes containing one histidine6 tag per monomeric subunit were immobilised predominantly in a defined orientation with their symmetry axis perpendicular to a Ni-ion-containing surface allowing for the first time the examination of single LHCIIb in an aqueous environment. Most complexes exhibit photobleaching in one step, indicating coupling between the monomeric subunits leading to an energy transfer between adjacent subunits. Differences in bleaching behaviour between these and previous observations with single LHCIIb are discussed.
Spectroscopic study of molecular associations between riboflavin and some (dihydro) β-carboline derivatives
1993
Abstract The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of molecular complexes of riboflavin (RFN) with some dihydro β-carboline derivatives have been investigated by using electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods in aqueous solution. The molecular associations have been examined by means of eletronic absorption spectra, since in each, a new charge transfer-like band has been located, and also by observing the variation of the fluorescence emission of RFN on the solutions. The formation constants for the molecular complexes were determined from absorption data, using the Forster—Hammick—Wardley method. The quenching phenomenon observed in RFN fluorescence is related…
DFT computational study on Fe(III)-N,N′-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato) derivatives
2005
DFT calculations, at unrestricted B3LYP level, have been performed on the structures of three iron(III) complexes, Fe(Salen)Cl, [Fe(Salen)]+ and [Fe(Salen)OH2]+, where Salen is the anion of Schiff base ligand N,N′-ethylene-bis (salicylideneimine), considering the spin multiplicity (S) values 2, 4 and 6. The results obtained have been compared with the available structural an magnetic experimental data, allowing us to conclude that a stable form of the FeIII(Salen) complex in aqueous solution should be characterized by an energy stabilization of the S=4 compared to the S=6 state.
Uranium(VI) sequestration by polyacrylic and fulvic acids in aqueous solution
2011
Stability data on the formation of dioxouranium(VI) species with polyacrylic (PAA) and fulvic acids (FA) are reported with the aim to define quantitatively the sequestering capacity of these high molecular weight synthetic and naturally occurring ligands toward uranium(VI), in aqueous solution. Investigations were carried out at t = 25 °C in NaCl medium at different ionic strengths and in absence of supporting electrolyte for uranyl–fulvate (\( {{\text{UO}}_{2}}^{2+} \)–FA) and uranyl–polyacrylate (\( {{\text{UO}}_{ 2}}^{ 2+ } \)–PAA, PAA MW 2 kDa) systems, respectively. The experimental data are consistent with the following speciation models for the two systems investigated: (i) UO2(FA1),…
Ti(iv)-amino triphenolate complexes as effective catalysts for sulfoxidation
2010
C 3 -symmetric Ti (IV) amino triphenolate complexes efficiently catalyze, without previous activation and in excellent yields, the oxidation of sulfides at room temperature, using both CHP and the more environment friendly aqueous hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidants, with catalyst loadings down to 0.01%. The Ti(IV) catalysts and the intermediate Ti(IV)-peroxo complexes have been characterized in solution by 1H NMR and ESI-MS techniques and via density functional studies.

Complete Hemocyanin Subunit Sequences of the Hunting SpiderCupiennius salei
2002
Hemocyanins are large copper-containing respiratory proteins found in many arthropod species. Scorpions and orthognath spiders possess a highly conserved 4 x 6-mer hemocyanin that consists of at least seven distinct subunit types (termed a to g). However, many "modern" entelegyne spiders such as Cupiennius salei differ from the standard arachnid scheme and have 2 x 6-mer hemocyanins. Here we report the complete primary structure of the 2 x 6-mer hemocyanin of C. salei as deduced from cDNA sequencing, gel electrophoresis, and matrix-assisted laser desorption spectroscopy. Six distinct subunit types (1 through 6) and three additional allelic sequences were identified. Each 1 x 6-mer half-mole…
